Summary: gemlist and separator may crash

Initial Comment:
gemlist and separator did not work well together.
here are 2 example that can lead to a pd crash.
- gemlist flow by a separator and a pix_image is manually banged
- gemlist follow by a separator is not update by a valid gemlist at every frame

both are "incorrect" use of gemlist, but it should not crash.
so, i suggest to limit bang action on gemlist only if both condition occur : 
- bang happend during gem rendering 
- a valid gemlist is received on it's right inlet at this frame

i don't think of any restriction imposes by this limitation, but I may be wrong.

attachement are 2 crasher patch
